1. What is a bone marrow transplant?A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure that involves replacing a patient's damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells, which can help treat various conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
-
2. How is the bone marrow collected?The bone marrow can be collected through two main methods: a bone marrow aspiration, which involves removing a small amount of liquid bone marrow from the hipbone using a needle, or a peripheral blood stem cell transplant, which involves collecting stem cells from the bloodstream through a process called apheresis.
-
3. Who can be a bone marrow donor?Generally, donors need to be in good health and between the ages of 18 and 44. The donor's blood and tissue type must also match the recipient's to reduce the risk of complications.
-
4. Can family members donate bone marrow?Seeking a bone marrow donor within the family is the first option. A brother or sister is most likely to be a perfect match as a donor. This is called a matched sibling donor transplant. There’s a 1 in 4 chance of the bone marrow cells matching among siblings. One’s parents, own children, and other relatives can sometimes be good matches. Only about 30% of those who need a bone marrow transplant can find a matching donor in their own family.
-
5. What are the risks associated with a bone marrow transplant?Some of the potential risks and side effects of a bone marrow transplant include infections, bleeding, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and organ damage. The risks can vary depending on the patient's age, overall health, and the specific type of transplant.
-

-
8. How can one prepare for a bone marrow transplant?Patients can prepare for a bone marrow transplant by following their doctor's instructions, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and managing any underlying medical conditions. Patients should also be prepared for a long recovery process and work closely with their healthcare team to manage any side effects or complications.
-
9. What is the cut-off age (eligibility) for a bone marrow transplant?Bone marrow cell donors and recipients of all ages who meet strict health criteria are eligible for bone marrow transplants. This means both the donor and the recipient will undergo stringent tests to check for underlying risks and health issues that could restrict the treatment.

The success rate of BMT varies from person to person, depending on the stage and type of cancer, general health condition according to age, etc.
-
11. Is bone marrow transplant painful?The transplant procedure is not painful because it is not surgery. In fact, it is similar to a blood transfusion. The bone marrow cells are infused into the vein directly through a thin catheter or intravenous tube. This process could take a couple of hours and the recipient is awake throughout.
-
12. How long is recovery after bone marrow transplant?Recovery after a bone marrow transplant is gradual. It takes up to 2 weeks for the newly infused cells to reach the bone marrow to begin to make healthy new cells. This process is called engraftment. In some recipients, it could take longer. During this time the immunity system can be weak. To prevent infections or the risk of complications, doctors recommend hospitalization for a few weeks to around 90 days to monitor the progress. Even after being discharged from the hospital, the bone marrow transplant recipients will have to visit the hospital for routine follow-ups with the doctors to check the response to the transplant.

11. Is bone marrow transplant painful?The transplant procedure is not painful because it is not surgery. In fact, it is similar to a blood transfusion. The bone marrow cells are infused into the vein directly through a thin catheter or intravenous tube. This process could take a couple of hours and the recipient is awake throughout.
-
12. How long is recovery after bone marrow transplant?Recovery after a bone marrow transplant is gradual. It takes up to 2 weeks for the newly infused cells to reach the bone marrow to begin to make healthy new cells. This process is called engraftment. In some recipients, it could take longer. During this time the immunity system can be weak. To prevent infections or the risk of complications, doctors recommend hospitalization for a few weeks to around 90 days to monitor the progress. Even after being discharged from the hospital, the bone marrow transplant recipients will have to visit the hospital for routine follow-ups with the doctors to check the response to the transplant.

1. What is a bone marrow transplant?A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure that involves replacing a patient's damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells, which can help treat various conditions such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
-
2. How is the bone marrow collected?The bone marrow can be collected through two main methods: a bone marrow aspiration, which involves removing a small amount of liquid bone marrow from the hipbone using a needle, or a peripheral blood stem cell transplant, which involves collecting stem cells from the bloodstream through a process called apheresis.

4. Can family members donate bone marrow?Seeking a bone marrow donor within the family is the first option. A brother or sister is most likely to be a perfect match as a donor. This is called a matched sibling donor transplant. There’s a 1 in 4 chance of the bone marrow cells matching among siblings. One’s parents, own children, and other relatives can sometimes be good matches. Only about 30% of those who need a bone marrow transplant can find a matching donor in their own family.
-
5. What are the risks associated with a bone marrow transplant?Some of the potential risks and side effects of a bone marrow transplant include infections, bleeding, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and organ damage.

Our patient’s stories
FAQs
-
Quel est l’âge limite (éligibilité) pour une greffe de moelle osseuse?Les donneurs de cellules de moelle osseuse et les receveurs de tout âge qui répondent à des critères de santé stricts sont éligibles à une greffe de moelle osseuse. Cela signifie que le donneur et le patient qui doit recevoir les cellules de moelle osseuse du donneur seront soumis à des tests rigoureux pour vérifier les risques sous-jacents et les problèmes de santé, qui pourraient restreindre le traitement. Alors que les donneurs plus jeunes de moins de 65 ans sont préférés pour une greffe de moelle osseuse, l'âge des receveurs de greffe peut être prolongé jusqu'à 75 ans, s'ils sont par ailleurs en bonne santé et sans maladie grave associée.
-
La leucémie peut-elle être guérie après une greffe de moelle osseuse?Il existe quatre types courants de leucémie. Parmi celles-ci, la leucémie aiguë est la forme hautement curable de leucémie adulte. Ceci est attribué aux progrès réalisés dans le diagnostic et le traitement de haute précision de ce type de cancer du sang. Des taux de guérison de 80 à 90% après une greffe de moelle osseuse ont été signalés dans des centres spécialisés dans le traitement de la leucémie aiguë, notamment l'hôpital Fortis de Mumbai, en Inde.
-
Quels membres de la famille peuvent donner de la moelle osseuse?La première option est de rechercher un donneur de moelle osseuse au sein de la famille. Un frère ou une sœur est plus susceptible d’être un partenaire idéal en tant que donneur. C’est ce qu’on appelle une greffe d’un frère ou d’une sœur compatible. Il y a une chance sur quatre que les cellules de la moelle osseuse correspondent entre les frères et sœurs. Les parents, les propres enfants et d'autres membres de la famille peuvent parfois constituer de bons partenaires. Seulement environ 30 % de ceux qui ont besoin d’une greffe de moelle osseuse peuvent trouver un donneur compatible dans leur propre famille.
-
La greffe de moelle osseuse est-elle douloureuse?La procédure de greffe n’est pas douloureuse car il ne s’agit pas d’une intervention chirurgicale. En fait, cela s’apparente à une transfusion sanguine. Les cellules de la moelle osseuse sont infusées dans la veine directement via un fin cathéter ou un tube intraveineux. Ce processus peut prendre quelques heures et le destinataire reste éveillé pendant toute la durée.
-
Peut-on marcher après une greffe de moelle osseuse?La récupération après une greffe de moelle osseuse est progressive, mais la plupart des patients peuvent marcher tout au long de la période de transplantation, à l'exception de quelques jours où leur numération globulaire est faible. Cela peut prendre plusieurs semaines pour que les nouvelles cellules de la moelle osseuse qui ont été infusées dans le sang se déplacent vers la moelle osseuse pour y être transformées en nouvelles cellules saines. Dans certains cas, cela pourrait prendre plus de temps. C'est pourquoi les médecins surveilleront de près les receveurs pour suivre leurs progrès. En fonction du type de greffe et des risques de complications, les médecins peuvent recommander des formes d'exer…
-
Combien de temps dure la récupération après une greffe de moelle osseuse?La récupération après une greffe de moelle osseuse est progressive. Il faut jusqu'à 2 semaines pour que les cellules nouvellement infusées atteignent la moelle osseuse et commencent à produire de nouvelles cellules saines. Ce processus est appelé prise de greffe. Chez certains destinataires, cela peut prendre plus de temps. Pendant cette période, le système immunitaire peut être faible. Pour prévenir les infections ou les risques de complications, les médecins recommandent une hospitalisation de quelques semaines à environ 90 jours pour suivre l’évolution. Même après leur sortie de l'hôpital, les receveurs de greffe de moelle osseuse devront se rendre à l'hôpital pour un suivi de routine avec les médecins afin de vérifier la réponse à la greffe.
-
Quelle est l’efficacité d’une greffe de moelle osseuse?Le taux de réussite d'une greffe de moelle osseuse dépend de plusieurs facteurs, notamment l'âge du patient, son état de santé général et l'affection spécifique traitée. En général, les greffes de moelle osseuse ont un taux de réussite élevé pour traiter certains types de cancers du sang et d’autres troubles sanguins.
-
Comment se préparer à une greffe de moelle osseuse?Les patients peuvent se préparer à une greffe de moelle osseuse en suivant les instructions de leur médecin, en maintenant un mode de vie sain et en gérant toute condition médicale sous-jacente. Les patients doivent également se préparer à un long processus de rétablissement et travailler en étroite collaboration avec leur équipe de soins pour gérer tout effet secondaire ou complication.

-
Combien de temps une personne peut-elle vivre après une greffe de moelle osseuse?La nouvelle encourageante est que les risques ou les complications suite à une greffe de moelle osseuse diminuent selon la recherche médicale. Cela permet à davantage de personnes de vivre plus longtemps après un BMT réussi. Le taux de survie général estimé après BMT est de 80 % ; cela signifie que la personne peut vivre une vie saine pendant de nombreuses années après un BMT. Le taux de réussite du BMT varie d'une personne à l'autre, selon le stade et le type de cancer, l'état de santé général selon l'âge, etc.
